Just few weeks ago when my grandfather died, a terrible news struck my mom.
Her mother (my grandfather's wife) was diagnosed with colorectal cancer.
This is a rare case. The prognosis is remaining six more months to keep her with us.
My mom burst into tears. She just lost her father, she can't loose someone anymore especially her mother!
A month after this news, my father had a mild stroke. I can't see where's the relevance why it's called MILD when he can no longer walk straight, talk clearly and can't move his left extremities.
Another month later, my uncle (my mom's brother) was killed by HIS FRIEND ! YES. HIS FRIEND ! With no remorse, he stub my uncle to death. 16 stub wounds caused his death and worst ? this happened on Christmas eve.
now how can I help my mom get through this tragedy?
help me mylotters ! :(

sorry to hear that.. just take one day at a day. I know its a hard time for you. All will work out. God bless you there.
So sorry for your loss. Life sometimes is full of heartaches but just be strong because God will help you and will stay beside you. You may have these hurtful experiences now but these will make you a stronger person with a better judgment as you grow up.

I'm really sorry.. my condolences to you and your family. The best you can do is be there for her. Tell your mom that they're in a happy place now and that they are smiling down on you. Times like these, you really need to be strong for your loved ones who needs you. Stay strong and pray.

All we coukd do now is to pray for the souls of your relatives and be strong to face life. Just ket your mom feel the live around her. We can't change the course if our lives.

So sorry for your loss. Your poor family is going through such a terrible time and your mom must feel so overwhelmed. Hopefully with a lot of physical therapy or father will get better. There is a lot that can be done to help stroke victim now a days. I lost my grandmother to cancer as well. Try to spend as much time with her as you can. The only benefit to her dying of cancer is that you know its coming and have that extra time to prepare your self. Your mom will need someone strong to help her through all this. I would try to show her your love and support every day and remind her of all the good things about those who've passed on. They are in a better place now. Hope things get better for your family. Lots of prayers.
